Aperture Laboratories – Free Pattern!

January 28, 2017

For Christmas 2016 I made a cross stitch gift for my co-workers and bosses. One of my co-workers is a huge fan of Portal 2, so I designed and stitched this pattern for him. I was originally going to turn it into a cushion but a lovely lady on Stitch Maynia suggested I framed it instead (after asking their husband and son for their opinions).

Here’s the finished product:

His favourite colours are blue and orange, and I actually made a Portal themed banner for his 18th birthday (I also did one for his sisters 16th, as it was a combined party). I really love how the colours stand out on the black.

I stitched this on 14ct black aida – which was a bit of a nightmare because of all the cat hair. But it was worth it in the end 🙂

If you would like to stitch this, you can download the pattern in colour or black and white below.
